My microwave died last week and it made me realize how much I took the convenience of nuking food for granted. After a few days of last minute panic because I didn't remember to defrost something for dinner and my DH's blank look when I asked him to reheat some pizza,we are slowly relearning how to cook without a microwave. I'm not sure when or even if we will replace it. I would want one of the same brand and same features of my old one and they are pretty pricey. Does anyone know if I can cut open microwave popcorn bags and pop the kernals in a pot on the stove? I have boxes of popcorn,it's my MIL's favorite snack and I don't want it to go to waste. :goodvibes:

yes, but they could burn due to the flavor additives. popcorn is popcorn otherwise. :)

Re: Cooking It Old School!

we got rid of our microwave almost 2 years ago now for health and safety reasons, and YES it does take some relearning :giggle: at first it was like how do i heat leftovers??? but it is just as easy now and we are used to it!!
